Yes, this was a well-done article and great photo. But this shows that people want to see the beauty of your area, and you can capture that easily in your daily life. Challenge yourselves to snap a photo every day. Even if you only load them once per week onto Facebook, it will make a big difference.

Effective Social Ads

Target. Split Test. Analyze.

Even easier?
Just promote your popular posts.

Follow the 80/20 rule: "80% of the content you distribute via social should be about your customers."

Keep in mind:
People now expect a response within 24 hours.

Expert Jay Baer says: "This is not out of reach. They are your customers. Your silence is deafening."

4 rules for negatvity

  • Respond quickly
  • Try to bring them off social
  • Offer to fix the problem if you're in the wrong
  • Move on if they're just a complainer or trolling for freebies
